So as I’m sure a great many of you are all aware of, WordPress 3.0 has been released, fixing a number of new bugs, bringing some new features…and probably bringing new bugs (it’s to be expected, let’s be honest), though I’m sure that won’t get advertised!
As I upgraded, I decided to change my theme. I quite like the new theme, it makes a change to have a bit of colour on my blog, which I quite like, though I do still have the old theme kicking around on the server, should I decide to change my mind. Another change, is the VPS on which this blog is hosted, which is now hosted by Fivebean. So far, no real issues, the minor issue I initially had was dealt with promptly and explained thoroughly, I’d definitely recommend giving Fivebean a look if you’re in the market for a VPS 
I do have one small issue currently, which I’m not sure whether it is being caused by WordPress, PHP, Apache, or the VPS setup on Fivebean’s part, whereby directly after a reboot the RAM usage sits at around 300MB, and refreshing the WP dashboard causes usage to jump upwards by around 200MB. Now I know WordPress likes its RAM, but not that much, it certainly wasn’t an issue on the old VPS. Anyway – more news on that as it comes.

I’m not looking forward to it, and will most definitely wait for a few minor revision upgrades to be released before upgrading. Still, glad it worked for yourself!

It was actually relatively painless to install wordpress. In fact the only real issue I had was various packages not installed, which is solely because of the VPS switch

I had a WP MU site and upgraded with the rc1 version. I had been running the development versin on another server for a while and knew the rc version was in pretty good shape. The upgrade was easy. The only negative was that the Google XML Sitemap plugin was not compatible with 3.0 with the multi-site feature enabled. Hopefully that will be updated soon. Otherwise, 3.0 is a big improvement. The menu tool is great and the ability to mass update the themes and plugins is a great time saver.

As for he increased RAM usage, are you using the same image you used on your previous VPS host? If not, the Apache, MySQL and PHP settings could be the reason. Are there more Apache modules being loaded? What are the memory settings in the PHP.ini file?

OpenID auth suddenly broke in WP3.0 (it was working fine in 2.9) and since I noticed you had it installed also, I thought I’d try and see if yours worked.
